ANDOVER – Nan’s Antiques, a new shop offering a wide variety of collectibles and antiques for sale, had its official ribbon cutting on Friday, April 3, at 10 a.m. at 25 Public Square in Andover.
Following the ribbon-cutting with the Pymatuning Area Chamber of Commerce, customers queued up with a wide variety of collectibles, from dinnerware, to signage, lamps and glassware to take home after checking out with Stefanie White, who took over the former Victorian Elements after the previous owner, David Sanka, passed away during the winter of 2024.
Bill Baer, the building’s owner, said he and White had the idea of opening an antique shop as a complement to his auctioneer business.
“I’ve been an auctioneer all my life, so I’ve dealt with antiques,” he said.
Most of the items came with the building, according to Baer, who added Nan’s Antiques will also offer vendor space for third-party sellers to operate, and consignment sales for those who only have a small number of items they’re looking to sell.
The shop offers antique, vintage, architectural salvage and Victorian-era collectibles.
As it stood during the grand opening, the shelves and floorspace were stocked with a wide variety of antiques, from furniture, to candlestick telephones, brass National Cash Register adding machines and even an Edison cylinder phonograph.
Nan’s Antiques is located at 25 Public Square in Andover. The shop’s social media page, facebook.com/p/Nans-Antiques-61580108075501, has lots of items for sale showcased for visitors. It shares the building with Bill Baer Realty.
The shop’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
